Summary

Ex vivo analysen beskrevet i denne studien ved hjelp av tarm homogenate ekstrakter og immunofluorescence farging representerer en ny metode for å undersøke bindestrekmorfogenese av Candida albicans i GI-kanalen. Denne metoden kan benyttes til å undersøke miljøsignalene som regulerer morfogenetisk overgang i tarmen.

Abstract

Candida albicans bindestrekmorfogenese i mage-tarmkanalen (GI) er tett kontrollert av ulike miljøsignaler, og spiller en viktig rolle i formidling og patogenese av dette opportunistiske sopppatogenet. Metoder for å visualisere sopphyphae i GI-kanalen in vivo er imidlertid utfordrende, noe som begrenser forståelsen av miljøsignaler for å kontrollere denne morfogeneseprosessen. Protokollen beskrevet her demonstrerer en ny ex vivo metode for visualisering av bindestrekmorfogenese i tarm homogenate ekstrakter. Ved hjelp av en ex vivo analyse viser denne studien at cecal innhold fra antibiotikabehandlede mus, men ikke fra ubehandlede kontrollmus, fremmer C. albicans bindestrekmorfogenese i tarminnholdet. Videre, legge tilbake bestemte grupper av tarm metabolitter til cecal innholdet fra antibiotika-behandlet mus differensialt regulerer bindestrek morfogenese ex vivo. Samlet representerer denne protokollen en ny metode for å identifisere og undersøke miljøsignalene som styrer C. albicans bindestrekmorfogenese i GI-kanalen.

Introduction

Candida albicans er en opportunistisk, polymorf sopppatogen som normalt er commensal, men kan gjennomgå en morfologisk endring i en virulent form som er i stand til å forårsake livstruende infeksjoner hos immunkompromitterte individer1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13. C. albicans er en ledende årsak til systemiske nosocomial infeksjoner, med en 40 \\ u201260% dødelighet selv med antifungal behandling2,14,15. Selv om C. albicans bor i forskjellige vertsnisjemer, inkludert det kvinnelige reproduktivesystemet 16,17,munnhulen til friskeindivider 18 og mage-tarmkanalen (GI)19,20, stammer flertallet av de systemiske infeksjonene fra GI-kanalen og videre, kilden til systemisk infeksjon er ofte bekreftet å være GI tract21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34. C. albicans patogenitet i GI-kanalen påvirkes av et bredt spekter av faktorer; Men en viktig egenskap som er nødvendig for virulens er overgangen fra en gjær celle morfologi til en virulent bindestrekcelle morfologi35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44. C. albicans vedlegg og spredning fra GI-kanalen under infeksjon er svært forbundet med sin evne til å gå fra en commensal gjær til virulent hyphae, slik at soppene kan forårsake invasiv sykdom44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53.

En rekke faktorer i tarmen, inkludert n-acetylglucosamine, regulerer bindestrekdannelse av C. albicans. Derfor er det avgjørende å begrense kunnskapsgapet om bindestrekmorfogenesen til dette sopppatogenet iGI-kanalen 54,55,56. Nyere bevis indikerer at ulike tarmmetabolitter differensialt kontrollerer bindestrekmorfogenesen til C. albicans in vitro57,58,59,60. Tekniske begrensninger gir imidlertid problemer når man forsøker å studere C. albicans-hyfaedannelse i in vivo-tarmprøver, spesielt farging av gjær- og bindestrekceller og kvantitativ analyse av bindestrekutvikling. For å forstå C. albicans bindestrekmorfogenese i GI-kanalen, ble en ex vivo-metode utviklet ved hjelp av løselige ekstrakter av homogenisert tarminnhold fra mus for å studere effekten av metabolitter på soppgefokal morfogenese. Ved hjelp av tarmprøver fra mus som er resistente og utsatt for C. albicans GI-infeksjon, vil denne metoden bidra til å identifisere og studere effekten av metabolitter, antibiotika og xenobiotika på sopp bindestrekmorfogenese i GI-kanalen.

Protocol

Alle dyreprotokoller ble godkjent av Midwestern University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) som beskrevet før57. Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee ved Midwestern University godkjente denne studien under MWU IACUC Protocol #2894. MWU-retningslinjene for dyrepleie følger Folkehelsetjenestens (PHS) retningslinjer for human omsorg og bruk av laboratoriedyr og retningslinjene i dyrevelferdsloven (AWA). 1.

Representative Results

Disse resultatene sammen med tidligere funn fra Thangamani-laboratoriet60 indikerer at når C. albicans dyrkes ex vivo i tarmhomogenate ekstrakter tatt fra magen, tynntarmen og tykktarmen av ubehandlet kontroll og antibiotikabehandlede mus, utvikler C. albicans vanligvis med gjærmorfologi (figur 1B). Men når dyrket i cecal ekstrakt fra antibiotikabehandlede mus, C. albicans gjennomgår lett morfogenese, noe som resulterer i prøver som inn…

Discussion

Metoden som er beskrevet her presenterer en ny måte å undersøke effekten av antibiotika, kosttilskudd, xenobiotiske og terapeutiske virkninger på C. albicans bindestrekmorfogenese i GI-kanalen. Siden flertallet av systemiske infeksjoner stammer fra GI tract21,22,23,24,25,26,27<s…
